From city to FARM...our story

[black_cat]

The 3 brown eggs I had in there are from my barred rock and I have 1 EE egg in there. I have 2 roos that do "piggy back rides" as my son says. One is a speckled sussex(Cayenne) and the other is EE (Fabio). I am thinking the 1st baby that hatched is from my EE roo and did hatch from my barred rock.

It'll be interesting to see who's 'piggy back rides' were more successful! I can't wait to see how the chicks turn out!

How stinking cute is this little chickie? All 3 are out of the incubator now and happy and running around in the broader. We are pretty sure all are from Fabio the EE roo. The 2 black are barred rock x EE and the grey is Speckled Sussex (Paprika) x EE (Fabio)

Day 22 and my EE egg still has not hatched it has shown no sign of movement or pip. I tried to candle lastnight but it is so hard to see inside the egg because of the green/blue egg color. I could see the air sac it looked to be where it should, I tapped gently I could not hear anything, the egg looks to be pretty full all over except where the sac is so I am just confused on this one? There is not a smell coming from it either...any suggestions? As for the other 3 they are happy as can be.
